Pretty much what the title says: What kind of ships will my Lachesis take down 1v1?
I was thinking the following setup:
3 250mm rail II
2 Arbalest heavy launchers
10mn ABII
Warp disr. II
3 Remote sensor damp II
(unsure about the last two med slots... advice anyone?)
SAR II
2 Mag stab II
(or 1 mag stab 1 dmg cont. II)
3 hammerhead II 2 Warrior II
comments anyone?

as long as you have get a target thats ratting, and does not have stabs the only hold back will be dps.
the damps will stop them getting a lock on you, if its a big target its always an idea to wait for them to engadge rats, that way you can use there dps 2 as his locking range will be too short to effectlivly take them out.
so yeah aslong as you stay at range, you should be all good.

refit MWD, 2x t2 scram, capbooster.
2x nano or 1 nano/1 istab, DCUII.
Fit rigs..CCC preferably because those SD's and scrams will suck the cap right out of you.
Your speed is your tank...no need to fit a SAR since you will be dead long before the 2nd cycle is done..more than 1 ship solo? gtfo... they getting to close because they have a mwd? punch yours and stay away or leave.
Prepare to be there for a long time if you plan on taking on a bc or larger sized ship..cruisers can take a while (depends on the setup) and frigs & dessies are your best bet
+ go for 4 med t2 drones...the 1 extra light doesnt help (much)
It's still more of an advanced tackler than a solo ship but it's doable seeing as there are some succesfull with it raiding missions. for missionkillig you ofcourse fit AB.
Sidenote...just throwing it out on the fly, not 100% sure it will fit/work as intended.

Sounds fair enough, I will be using it mostly to go hunting for belt ratters and others I can catch unaware in low sec, and perhaps baiting some poor miners if I feel like it.
But my main concern is the above mentioned dps, and also the reason for asking: what size ships will my dps be able to down? Will a lachesis with good drone skills and fairly good gunnery skills pack enough to take down a drake or hurricane? Will it have any chance whatsoever against the tank of a BS? I except anything below BC save HAC`s and other recons to go easily enough...

I'd use it as a gang boat, quite possibly teamed with a Huginn and long-range DPS. Sensor damps, 2 T2 24km warp jammers.
Recon ships are a bit too specialized IMO for solo work. HACs would do better.

you can forget about a drake or any missile ship that packs some fof missiles just in case.
personnaly i like my lach being capstable as damage is really low and perma running an mwd helps versus drones. then you can kill about every active tanked ship, just takes a bit. also if they're more than one you better get out. additionally i have installed an lse just for a bit higher buffer in case i have to run (recons really are fragile :\ )
oh and 2 damps are enough for one enemy unless he's flying a sniper in which case he most likely won't be able to hit you.
so basically you can kill everything bar passive tankers and missile ships flown with half a brain.

Lachesis can afford to engage any target that isn't too fast (vaga) , if its tank is too strong you can easily disengage.
Magstabs are a waste since your rails will usually do less than half of your DPS. If they do more (using ECM drones) then it won't make a big difference.
Lachesis has some decent resists , you can plate it and / or add an explosive hardener depending on the situation. You can't avoid using at least 1 CPR though.
3 damps is a bit tight , it deserves to have 4 and/or a second scram. If the targets on your overview are slow enough , you can kill them all with enough patience / luck and a cap stable setup.
Lachesis is the ideal pirating ship. Works equally well for gatecamps , belt hunting and mission busting. It makes ransoming so much easier (fit a ship scanner to know the exact cost of a ransomed ship) and is uncommon enough that most victims don't even know what it does.

If you use damp rigs, 2 is plenty. This will reduce a ravens lock down to 17k~. The key on the cap is to fork out the 25m for 2 phased mouns.

If your flying a lach, don't expect to be able to kill anything 1v1, unless its poorly fitted.
The lach is best in a support role. Load it with damps and it can save your gangmates asses.

You can *DEFINITELY* take out pirate drakes sitting on gates. I've got killmails to prove it... wait, I was in the drake and the LACH died. FOF ftw. =/
On second thought, don't engage anything with FOF missiles. =/ Otherwise, they'll eventually run out of cap boosters and die. Good luck.

300 DPS is not THAT bad (without damage mods).
